Spot the Translation Mistake

Bins & Cans

Until recently the rubbish receptacles in the kitchen at work were labelled in Japanese only. A few days ago some kindly soul went round and added English translations for the non-Japanese speaking members of staff. The translations were excellent, apart from this one subtle error.

Haha yeah I know this is an old entry but it was too hillarious not to comment on. A bin for bins ? lol

I will start taking my cam out with me so I can try and catch some of the funny, "Engrish" around town.
